Does anybody recruit party with PGL in demand?
Gla yes, Thm, yes, Cnj yes, Mrd previous, Lnc previous, when will PGL get the opportunity?
You should dump your crappy endgame LS then.

Why Pugilist is in demand for Ifrit for those groups who know how to fight it properly:

Off Tank or Tanking
As the person above pointed out the Pugilist having Taunt makes them an awesome off tank or probably even tank for Moogles.

Burst Damage
Howling fist is an amazing combo easily capable of over 1k damage. Bursting down moogles like the Pomburner is absolutely key, at least in our Moogle strat. We have a very skilled Pugilist who has proved that Pugilist carries his own weight in this fight and then some, and if I were forming a PUG I'd jump at the chance to have a talented Pugilist in the setup.

If you have MP problems maybe don't leave fists of fire up the entire fight, it has a 10 second recast. You can toggle it off/on pretty easily during long fights. You also have Featherfoot (very useful for MP regen) and sucker punch.

In my opinions Pugilists should be advocating SE for a switch from INT to PIE as their secondary attribute so that they can get more MP. Pugilists definitely could use some changes, but stop calling them worthless. You are only contributing to an existing ignorance about how mechanics in this game actually work.
